RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SARATOGA UPHOLDING A DECISION OF THE PLANNING
COMMISSION
WHEREAS, THOMAS SUIT, the applicant, has applied to the City of
Saratoga for a variance to permit construction of a detached garage having a six foot
side yard setback where 10 feet is required, a 6 foot rear yard setback where 25 feet is
required, and a height of 15-1/2 feet where 10 feet is allowed, upon the property
located at 189 15 Devon Avenue, such application being identified as V-735, and
WHEREAS, on June 17, 1986, the Planning Commission of the City of
Saratoga conducted a public hearing on said application, and following the conclusion
thereof, the Planning Commission approved the application subject to a condition that
a portion of the structure extending beyond the westerly wall of the garage be
removed; and
WHEREAS, the applicant has appealed the condition imposed by the
Planning Commission to the City Council; and
WHEREAS, on August 6, 1986, the City Council conducted a de novo public
hearing on the appeal, at which time any person interested in the matter was given an
opportunity to be heard; and
WHEREAS, the City Council reviewed and considered the staff reports,
minutes of proceedings conducted by the Planning Commission relating to said
application, and the written and oral evidence presented to the City Council in support
of and in opposition to the appeal,
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Saratoga, at its
meeting on August 6, 1986, by a vote of 5-0 did resolve as follows:
1. The appeal from the Planning Commission was denied and the
decision of the Planning Commission was affirmed.
2. The condition was found to be a reasonable compromise between the
interests of the applicant and the objections of the neighbor,
particularly in view of the fact that the structure was illegally
constructed without a building permit. The condition will serve to
mitigate the impact of the structure upon the neighboring property
by reducing its size and bulk.
